Pets on Quilts Show & Giveaway

I couldn't resist letting Jackson be the star of the blog today so he could participate in the Pets on Quilt Show. You've seen him hold down quilts for me:

You've seen him pose with quilts

and on quilts: (These are posted for to be included in the Dogs on Quilts Category)

That I finally had to make one just for him awhile back:

Jackson is the perfect fella for quilt posing - and holder of quilts, too. How sweet a give away. I have loads of kitty prints, wouldn't doggies be fun. Bella loves her Friskies' Fiesta chicken treats and Moe - pepperoni. Oiy - if I don't get pepperoni on my pizza, totally in the dog house (hahahaha).

Jackson is a great spokesperson for your work. Your quilts are wonderful. Love the one you made just for him. We are between pets at the moment. Tink passed in April. Her favorite treat was peanut butter with or without anything under it. The floor would work just as well as a cookie.

What a cutie Jackson is and I love that he'll let you take his picture, mine won't. Favorite treats are the one's I make for them, I know they're spoiled rotten, but I like the baking and they like the eating.

Jackson is a cool lil' model!! We only have "barn cats"...& really...I think THEY think that I am THEIR Pet!! giggle giggle They know who spoils em for sure! lol We had a great dog..Golden Retriever...but he was old, & passed a few years ago.

I was so distracted at your cute pup I didn't see your giveaway the first time! Carter's favorite treat are Little-Jac training treats. He's very picky about treats & actually spits out a lot of biscuits, but those little treats he goes wild for!

Val, I have been waiting for Jackson's appearance since you posted he was making a splash yesterday :) He never disappoints, what a sweet boy! Rubi's favorite treat is carrots and Nugget loves him some turkey :) Life is good for him when his papa gets a turkey sandwich for lunch, that means Nugget gets turkey for breakfast. haha Judy

You have such a sense of humor and Jackson vividly comes to life through your pics and words. I have to admit our dog's (14 yrs. old and thank goodness does a lot of walking, too) favorite treat is FOOD of any kind (and I won't say anything more)!

Oh I love that fabric. And it looks like Jackson thinks it is pretty wonderful too. My dog Zeke LOVES moose meat. When we cut the moose up last fall hubby dried all the scraps and Zeke has been feasting on them all winter. A sure way to his heart. :)

Lovely to see the picture of Jackson contributing to your quilt display! Glad he finally got a quilt of his own. I'd love to be included in your giveaway if you're willing to mail to the uk. My dog, Trevor, wasn't usually allowed to eat 'human' food, but as a special treat we'd let him lick out the McFlurry pots when they were nearly empty :)

Hi Val and Jackson! Jackson is beautiful model and helper and he has the best ever quilt! Those doggy Fabrics are Super cute! You are so sweet sharing those precious pieces - thank you! I love the Red quilt, too - it has wonderful and unique desing and white with Red is always good! x Teje, Nero and Hannanerospost(at)gmail(dot)com

Good morning, Jackson is such a cuttie pie and love seeing him in the photos-what an awesome idea to make things for the pet shelter I wanted to comment but don't enter me in the giveaway-as I am destashing most of my quilt fabrics and books

Jackson is very photogenic, and obviously doesn't mind posing for you. My cat Tibby goes ape for cat crunchies. She literally climbs into the pantry and sits with her nose up against the bag in which they are kept. When you reach for them she marches across the kitchen to her bowl with her tail up in the air, and looking back at you every step or two, just to make sure you are still coming in behind her with the treats. She cracks me up!

Our labrador will eat just about anything, so I don't know what her favourite snack is. It used to be socks! She learnt pretty quickly that adult socks were too big, but for years she ate any baby or kids socks she could find. I would say she has eaten between 50-100 socks in her life time. When I told the vet, she was surprised our dog was still alive. We stopped buying socks for the kids until their feet got big enough that our dog lost interest in eating the socks. My 4 year old wears socks that are much too big for him for this reason.

I've had the privilege of meeting Jackson, & he's just as cute in person as he is in pictures. Missed you at the Kuna Quilt Show this weekend. Judy was wondering if you'd be coming. Miss you dear friend. Enjoy the rest of your summer before school starts. Victoria

Jackson is such a great model! Our cat's favorite treat was Spaghettio's, how funny is that? She rarely ate any human food, but would always ask for some of my Spo's. Thank you for the giveaway, I have a couple pups in mind who would love a quilt of their very own!~Brandypamperedpettit.blogspot.com

Jackson is so good at his job making your quilts look great! What a good dog. I have a cat that makes me feel good about my quilts. She doesn't eat treats but on occasion we share our tortilla chips with her without the salsa.
